How do I make a referral?

Sign up for the Sprint Referral Rewards and refer through one of our many referral channels. New Sprint customer who is interested in participating in Sprint Referral Rewards can sign up on the Referral site and start referring immediately, however, your friends and family must activate their new line of service at least 24 hours after you've signed up with Sprint.

How many friends can I refer?

There is no limit to the number of referral offers you can send to your friends. However, you're limited to a maximum of 10 successful referrals per calendar year, or a $500 annual reward limit.

What does my friend need to do to redeem the referral?

Tell your friend they must unlock the offer (by creating a login in the referral system) before they activate their service with Sprint.

Then your friend is required to activate new line of wireless phone service at a Sprint-branded store or a participating National Retailer on a qualifying postpaid rate plan with a wireless phone purchased via Sprint's Installment Billing or Leasing programs.
